#177 - The Politics of a Women’s Sex Pill with Dr. Anita Clayton

We continue our discussion with therapist Josh Dodes to do a deep dive into the common experiences of “unhappy achievers.” The first step in the journey towards recovery is to recognize how prevalent this has become in all of one’s relationships. Next, a stage of processing all the emotions that emerge and then a phase of experimentation with other ways relating and enjoying life. Hosts: Eyrn, Al, Yas Guest: Josh Dodes, LCSW
